The EFF and AT&T are heading to court over allegations that the phone company violated the privacy of its customers

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is currently sueing AT&T
for helping the National Security Agency (NSA) execute wiretaps on
American citizens
without filing warrants. The EFF alledges that not only did
AT&T let the NSA intercept and analyze millions of phone calls made
by Americans, but the company has also been accused of giving the
NSA direct access to databases of communication records.

There is much more on the subject from the EFF Class Action Lawsuit page here.
